Garowe (PP News Desk) — The Office of Puntland Human Rights Defender weighed in with a carefully worded statement on three cases. “The Office is keeping an eye on Shurki Ahmed’s complaint about the police, the case of a girl whose body was found in Bosaso, and the murder of an adminstrative assistant with the Military Court” reads the statement.

Last week, Nugaal Police Division unlawfully arrested Shukri, who was in her house in Dangoroyo district. The Office of Puntland Human Rights has been reticent about Shurki’s underage daughter whom Dangoroyo Police arrested before arresting and transferring her mother to a police station in Garowe.
